UNITED KINGDOM: SOCCER -- THREE FINE GOALS AS QUEENS PARK RANGES BEAT MANCHESTER UNITED 3 - 0Clip Description:[/b]
Story
A fine 3 - 0 victory by London club Queens Park Rangers, newcomers to the English First Division, plunged the once mighty Manchester United deeper into trouble today (Tuesday, January 1). Before a big Bank Holiday crowd, [b]Rangers produced some superb attacking football to keep their place among the top half dozen clubs in the First Division.[/b]
Manchester United, despite the half-million pounds spent by manager Tommy Docherty on new layers, were never in contention. but Docherty's latest signing, left-back [b]Steward Houston signed from London club Brentford for GBP 50,000 last Saturday, at least made a promising debut[/b].
Alex Stepney, in the United goal, also had fine game. He had already pulled off several memorable saves when, in the 18th minute, Rangers mounted a quick attack and Givens scored with a fierce drive. The second goal, 16 minutes later, came from a setpiece corner -- Stan Bowles heading the ball into the net.
[b]Bowles completed the humiliation of United with an extraordinary goal 20 minutes into the second half. He dummied his way past at least four paralysed United defenders and scored with an angled shot beneath the diving Stepney. Final score: Rangers 3 United 0.[/b]
[b]SYNOPSIS: A[/b] big Bank Holiday crowd tuned up at Loftus Road on Tuesday to see the London club Queens Park Rangers take on Manchester United. Rangers, playing from right to left, are newcomers to the English first division this season. And they soon showed the sort of attacking football that has made them among the top half-dozen clubs.
Besides good teamwork, Rangers were also showing plenty of individual flair. [b]Here, it's Gerry Francis making a brilliant run ... and bringing an equally fine save from United goalkeeper Alex Stepheny[/b].
But even Stepney's courage couldn't prevent Don Givens putting Rangers in the lead after a quarter of an hour.
Rangers went further ahead from a corner on the half-hour. Stan Bowles rose above the Manchester Untied defence to head the goal.
In the second half, now, and Queens Park Rangers still on the attack. Though United manager Tommy Docherty has spent a half-million pounds strengthening his team, his entire defence was mesmerised by Stan Bowles who scored another good goal. Final score -- Rangers three, United nil.
